Globe Labs partners with Google Developers Group on nationwide DevFests

Share

Globe Labs, the dynamic and innovative developer community of Globe
Telecom, has partnered with the Google Developers Group (GDG) in the
Philippines on the holding of a nationwide DevFest consisting of eight
community-organized events anticipating at least 1,000 developers and students
interested to learn about Google technologies and products.

“This year’s DevFest is special because it is the first time that GDG is
holding eight of them all over the country.
And being a strong supporter of shared community approach through open
source technology, we believe that we can help developers hone their IT skills
by participating in the GDG DevFests,” said Anne Michelle Santos, Developer
Relations Manager of Globe Labs.

Globe Telecom, through Globe Labs, has been working with GDG on various
initiatives. Early this year, Globe Labs and GDG Philippines organized the
DevFest Women (DevFestW) Philippines for women in technology. In 2012, Globe
also brought the DevFests to Cebu and Bacolod.

This time, after the Manila leg kicked off in September, it was followed
immediately by Cagayan de Oro which is the first in Mindanao, and then
Bacolod. GDG is also set to hold the
DevFests in Cebu, Zamboanga and Davao in October, and in Baguio and Cordillera
in the following months.

GDG DevFest is a community-led event that has technical and
non-technical sessions centered around Google developer technologies and
platforms. It is geared towards web and
mobile developers who want to build applications using Google technologies,
members of the academe who need to learn how to use Google Apps for online
collaboration and global classrooms, and business owners and content publishers
who want to boost website traffic and have effective online marketing.

For the eight DevFests, GDG Philippines have invited local experts on
Google technologies, as well as Googlers to talk and interact with the
developers attending the event. Topics
range from the importance of innovation especially for emerging markets,
building a culture of technopreneurship in the Philippines, developing mobile
apps for the global market using Google technologies such as YouTube API,
Google App Engine, Google Drive Realtime API, Google Maps API, and Google+ API,
among others.
